I look down at the dozens of seashells - some small, some large, striped, dotted, blue, pink, grey; these seashells have been around the world. Just like people, these shells started off in one place, familiar and comfortable, and ended up somewhere new, ready for someone to pick them up and appreciate the grooves of the journey. Each seashell has taken a wild journey to get to this coastline, to be at my feet. Each seashell’s journey
mom’s disorder. This helps further the plot for this film. They also use a very light technique to advance the plot. The producers use the time after Chris’ mother is taken to the mental hospital and Chris is lying in bed, thinking. He grabs that seashell that’s sitting on the desk and puts it to his ear. He

Not only is Mildred obsessed over the parlor walls, she also finds entertainment in listening to her seashells, which is not letting her mind rest. In Fahrenheit 451, Mildred did not take the seashells out of her ears very much, nor did she sleep, she just listened. “Late in the
